Most traders are chasing Nvidia at all-time highs. Here, we do the opposite, we find the hidden trades that fuel the tech.

Many chip stocks are crowded right now. But the raw materials powering AI data centers, grid upgrades, and EVs are facing a massive supply crunch and demand is accelerating fast.

That shift is igniting explosive moves in commodities like Copper and Natural Gas. 

And today, I’m sharing the next watchlist names every commodities trader should have on their radar.

In today's video, we break down why Copper just smashed through a 10-year high and why this supply crunch is just getting started.

We also review our community's massive wins (up to 185% gains on BHP & FCX positions) and pivot to a brand-new opportunity: Natural Gas, which has literally doubled in price in just 10 days.

I break down:
• Why Copper hitting a 10-year high ($13,387/ton) is just the beginning
• Why we focus on themes (like Solar & Copper) over individual company earnings
• How professional traders spot "sector rotation" before the headlines catch up
• How to pivot when a sector moves too fast
• Why the "SCOTUS Stimulus" could send Solar stocks vertical

I walk through real trades (BHP, FCX, Natural Gas) and show:
• How our community locked in gains of 166% to 185% on copper names
• Why we are getting long Natural Gas right now (it just doubled in 10 days!)
• Which Natural Gas stocks to buy (and why you must AVOID long exposure on the "UNG" ETF)
• How to use vertical spreads to stay in a trade while taking risk off the table

Does the copper rally rely more on AI infrastructure growth or on broader electrification themes like EVs and grid upgrades.
